Hi All,
I have been searching the web for a full-featured review of AZL's GP38-2 but have yet to locate one. I was wondering if anyone has any real-world experience with how many cars one GP38-2 can be expected to safely handle on level tangent track? The layout that I am designing (and amassing track for) will allow for the operation of 30+ car trains. In my current design, the ruling grade, will not come in to play until Phase-II, does not exceed 1.5%. My initial motive power roster will consist of GP38-2s and I was wondering if I should be considering 2 or 3.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Cliff
